For sale - General Amp Clear Out, Jean Hiraga, Gate Audio, Yves cochet

[lordmortlock]

Some interesting esoterica here - unusual pieces that sound great.

Gate Audio valve preamplifier - some hifi heads may remember Gate Audio from the late 80s/early nineties. A UK cottage industry with a good rep. This preamp has a cracking MM phono stage and a valve rectified power supply. A nice wood finish, a couple of marks, £250 UK Delivered.



Jean Hiraga L'audiophile clone power Amplifier - pure class A giving 20 glorious watts. Built by the speaker
Manufacturer Expolinear to use to demo their products, I paid 650 euros for this. The sound is worth every penny, but the finish is a bit DIY, so I'll ask £275 UK Delivered



Yves Cochet PP Un Head Amp - A two box active head amplifier for MC carts. Blew everything i tried out of the water until the AN SUT came along. I bought it and it developed a fault, so I sent it to the wonderful Graeme at Ampregen and he basically rebuilt the psu for me (all email correspondence with be forwarded to the buyer). Quite a few marks to the casework but it sounds amazing with every MC Cart I tried and even got a decent tune out of the 0.05 mv output Io! £250 UK Delivered.
